It must have been smart living around these parts at the very start of football, as a number of the original toga clubs were pretty local to our area.

 

including:

 

Notts County 1862

Stoke 1863

Forest 1865

Chesterfield 1867.

And the one and only Wednesday 1867

 

There is some debate about Rotherham United but it may have been in 1870 .

 

There may not have been a fully professional league at that time, and the teams themselves may not have been professional, but there were no doubt plenty of derby's in and around our city before the rest of the country cottoned on and thought 'That footi game looks O.K' and then the World!!!!!!!.

 

It makes you proud to be part of togga history, dun't It!

Good post Frankie (at last) but only part of the story what about the WORLDS FIRST club Sheffield FC (1856) and the club with the WORLDS OLDEST football ground Hallam (1860) both of which played in the first ever derby Plus Worksop town (1861) in all honesty you can't mention the start of football without them 3 as well

 

 

 

 

See no arguing just a discussion

Only knew that as I was helping eldest Granddaughter with some homework on Tuesday and she thought the Greeks wore toga's as well

After watching 300 I knew they wore 'skirts' not full length 'frocks' like Romans did so did a bit of searching

 

The thing is as I mentioned to Frankie if you post facts no one can pull you up on them

Tried Stargazing but kept falling over backwards and as for model trains waste of time I kept sliding off them weren't big enough

I always wanted something like this:hihi:

 

Mind you with my arris I'd probably end up sliding off that as well lol

Caught up wi thi nah pal!!!

 

And I would say (apart from starting a sentence with and or because ...tut tut) that trying to glean 'facts' from a fictional film is not a sound basis for an effective argument!!!

Cuttsie, your obsession with SWFC being older than SUFC rivals your obsession with Castle Market!

A magnificent obsession

Whats yours.

Ahhhh yes come on Blades, let the owls move the goal posts AGAIN to prove a point

We din't only move the goal posts , we moved the ground and the history to a pleasant part of town.
